Abstract

Objective: This study explored the indirect effects of emotional exhaustion and academic ineffectiveness on the relationship between perceived stress and cynicism in university students, also examining the moderating role of preprofessional internship (PI).

Methods: A cross-sectional predictive study was conducted that explored the relationship of predictor variables with some criterion variable. Data were obtained through an anonymous survey to which 950 students from two private universities responded (Mage=23.2±2.2 years, 52.7% women). Structural equation modeling was used to test mediation and moderation.

Results: Emotional exhaustion and academic ineffectiveness mediated the relationship between perceived stress and cynicism. Likewise, the implementation of PI moderated both the relationship between perceived stress and emotional exhaustion and the relationship between emotional exhaustion and cynicism.

Conclusion: These findings provide evidence that perceived stress is associated with increased cynicism through symptoms of emotional exhaustion and academic ineffectiveness. Furthermore, this relationship is moderated by the completion of PI.

压力和情绪耗竭对大学生学业效率低下和愤世嫉俗的中介作用探讨。

目的：本研究探讨情绪耗竭和学业无效对大学生感知压力与愤世嫉俗之间关系的间接影响，并考察职前实习（PI）的调节作用。方法：采用横断面预测研究，探讨预测变量与某些判据变量的关系。数据通过匿名调查获得，来自两所私立大学的950名学生（年龄=23.2±2.2岁，52.7%为女性）参与了调查。采用结构方程模型检验中介和调节作用。结果：情绪耗竭和学业无效在感知压力与玩世不恭的关系中起中介作用。同样地，主观感受的实施调节了感知压力与情绪耗竭的关系以及情绪耗竭与玩世不恭的关系。结论：这些发现提供了证据，表明感知到的压力与通过情绪衰竭和学业效率低下的症状增加的玩世不恭有关。此外，这种关系被PI的完成程度所调节。
